The League of Legends 12.8 patch notes have been released, and there's a lot of changes to consider as the 2022 Mid-Season Invitational approaches on May 10.
Multiple champions received changes, but the clear winner of patch 12.8 is Swain, the Noxian Grand General. All of Swain's moves received an enhancement of some kind, from Death's Hand dealing additional damage to Vision of Empire decreasing in mana cost. His ultimate Demonic Ascension has also been reworked, becoming a more potent move in the later stages of a match.
Other champion changes include Jinx losing 50 points of base health--dropping from 610 to 560--while Vladimir has his base armor stat increased from 23 to 27. The full League of Legends 12.8 patch notes are below.
